Saturday saw the first Italian success on the road, and the first German stage victory in the Fantasy Tour. Courtesy of just another accomplished, and winning, FG player, Jan Pankuweit, whose "White Train" squad enjoyed points from SuperPippo (30), his Fassa Bortolo Trade Team and another prmosing youngster from Italia such as Domina's Michele Scarponi.

Pankuweit's score was a bit low, but enough for him to edge out his closest challengers Chris Fauske and Frank Mogavero, both from the USA. Pippo Pozzato was also part of the "PowerTrain" squad, but further points from Team CSC and Voeckler's Brioches La Boulangère weren't enough for Fauske to match those awarded to Pankuweit by Scarponi and Fassa. Mogavero's team had Fassa, plus Brioches La Boulangère, plus Thor Hushovd who got back to score on Saturday, but his main point provider was Iker Flores, who got 10 points less than Pozzato, and this kept Team La Rock from clinching the stage. Mogavero earned a top three spot, and 5 Bonus Points (while Pankuweit got 25 and Fauske 10) in the GC anyway.

More players without Pozzato in their team rosters (from Mal Meninga to Bart Asher, from Lawrie Hunt to James Mahon and Clark Ritchie) followed, while both Michael Bodo and Paula Andrist made the top 10 thanks to Pozzato's own 30 points. The Minnesotan curiously had the stage winner in her team roster for the second straight day. In a leg featured by quite low scores, it's not much of a surprise that just 158 players earned 10 or more points, whereas well above 100 Virtual Teams didn't get any.
